Elliott Bay Orange Infusion

Draft at Washington Brewer’s Festival. Pours a hazy light orange amber with a short white head. The nose is fresh-squeezed orange juice and the taste is predominated by same. An interesting diversion in the world of beer.

cloudy like hefe/ orange peel taste consumes all/ beer does not taste good. there’s a summation in haiku. but basically, when I want fruit flavour in my beer, I want the actual fruit. this tasted like the white stuff in an orange peel. you know how you throw away that part? i don’t blame those who do the same here.

Hazy orange with a light brown tinge. Pleasant refreshment of orange in the nose. However, the flavor, is a confusion of orange juice and other elements--rose hips, hibiscus, and lemongrass--which do not distinguish themselves. Sour and bland. The commercial description given sounded better than it tasted.

Tap at Wash. microbrew festival. I would like to try this again. It"s hard to rate in a 4 oz glass poured over a cold plate.
